ABOUT NAPIER SPINE
A More Thoughtful Approach to Spine Care
At NaPier Spine, we believe exceptional spine care starts with listening. Every patient deserves a treatment plan built around their condition, lifestyle, and long-term goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether surgery is necessary or not, our focus remains the same: helping patients return to the activities they enjoy with confidence.

OCCUPATIONAL SPINE CARE · WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Where Exceptional Patient Care Meets Better Employer Outcomes.
Occupational spine care requires much more than simply treating an injury. Effective occupational spine care requires a detailed understanding job demands, constant coordination and communication with employers, adjusters, nurse case managers, physical therapists, and other dedicated providers to developing treatment plans that support safe, successful return-to-work outcomes.
Dr. NaPier has a passion for occupational medicine and has pioneered several techniques that allow for less postoperative pain and faster return to work including:
Dr. NaPier has presented his work nationally and locally and was recently a featured speaker at the Indiana Worker's Compensation Institute (IWCI) Annual Seminar.
Dr. NaPier and his team at Indiana Spine Group work proudly with Workers’ Compensation and self-insured employers, with the flexibility to help organizations navigate benefits and access highest-quality, lowest-cost spine care for their employees.
ADVANCED PROCEDURES. INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT PLANS.
Modern techniques designed to reduce pain, preserve motion, and restore function.
From minimally invasive surgery to advanced motion preservation techniques, Dr. NaPier offers the latest surgical options for patients whose conditions require more than conservative care. Every procedure is selected based on what’s best for the individual patient, never a one-size-fits-all approach.

“After two years of chronic back pain, Dr. NaPier was the first surgeon who truly listened. Six weeks after my minimally invasive procedure, I was back at work — and back on the golf course.”
